If we ever find ourselves in circumstances that seem limited, we might be mislead to believe that we’re powerless when it comes to calling the shots in our life. But the truth is that we’re the main source of our feelings of powerlessness because of how we use our personal power.

Your sense of power has nothing to do with what others say and do to you or even your life circumstances – rather, it lies in your ability to make choices about what you think, do and believe in. This dynamic form of inner power is much more potent than the superficial kind associated with money, status and beauty.

None of these shallow symbols of power mean anything if you don’t believe in your self-worth. Power comes from being yourself, standing your ground and doing the right thing. In the episode I describe the five most common ways that we give away our power and what we can do to take back our power.
